On one of my machine I have installed Ubuntu gutsy, which is running for
more than 6 months. Recently I have noticed slowdown of my Ubuntu
machine. I though it was some hardware malfunction or something, tried
to tune hardisk settings etc..., But I wasn't able to resolve
performance issue. Recently when I was searching for a solution I
found that the culprit is Recently opened documents history in gnome.
Gnome maintains two files called ~/.recently-used , ~/.recently-
used.xbel. Where .recently-used.xbel is the xml file. The problem is
if you don't clear this history it will slow down your system because
some applications like eog will parse these files before starting. I
don't know whether its good choice to use xml file at critical area of
system to collect data, instead you could have used sqlite or some thing
like that to speed up lookups. Please resolve this bug as these kind of
bugs are difficult to pin point.
